Adding a background
Once you’ve inserted and styled an object, you’re ready to add a background to your
project. You can use a preset in the EasyPalette, or use your own image. For solid color
backgrounds, simply adjust the controls for Color, Brightness, Saturation, and Hue located
on the Attribute Toolbar for the Studio: Background category of the EasyPalette file
directory.
To insert an image into the background:
1
On the Attribute Toolbar, click the Load
Background Image File button.
2
Select an image file (*.JPG or *.BMP)
in the dialog box that appears, and click
Open.
3
If you want, you can adjust the dimen-
sions of your project to match the size of
the image that you are using. To do this,
use the Image: Dimensions menu
command, click the Use Background
Image Size button in the dialog box that
pops up, and click OK.
